Let’s admit! We women love the cheetah print, be it clothing, accessories, shoes or nails.

Cheetah or Leopard print is one of my favorite prints and I have tried to implement this in my nail art hobby. Today, I want to share my work and also walk you through the steps on how to get this simple and cute print done on your nails.

Nail art can seem complicated when you just see the finished manicure, but once you read through these steps you will realize how easy it is to do it yourself. Let’s begin…

1. First apply a base coat to protect your nails. This will keep your nails healthy and avoid yellowing of the nails by protecting them

2. Before applying the base color, choose contrasting colors for the design. The base color will be the background color in your cheetah print. I have chosen pink and gold here to bring out the contrast in my design.3. Once the base color dries, apply few dots randomly.

4. Then use a toothpick or a dotting pen and outline the dots leaving spaces between to give the cheetah look. You can make ‘U’ or ‘C’ shapes around the dots using a darker color.
